Claire Shaffer New York Times Nabatian is sympathetic to all three characters and their lack of easy choices, and his eye for small cultural details and rituals enforces how identity continues to shape their lives even as they’re far from home. Jun 27, 2023 Full Review Josh Bell Crooked Marquee Writer-director Kaveh Nabatian explores multiple facets of the immigrant experience in this layered, contemplative Canadian drama. Rated: B Jun 20, 2023 Full Review Heidy Morales Hye's Musings ...the film is a sensory treat from the visuals to the music. Both Acosta and O’Farrill are trained dancers, hence they are exquisite to watch on-screen. Yaghoubi holds her own as a complicated divorcée looking for something more in her life. Rated: 3/4 Nov 14, 2022 Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said Writer-director Kaveh Nabatian's classically-inspired drama's artistry and weight are remarkable. Nov 5, 2021 Full Review Sarah Buddery Battle Royale With Cheese What it may lack in thematic exploration, it more than makes up for in style. Apr 12, 2021 Full Review Shelagh Rowan-Legg ScreenAnarchy Sin La Habana weaves its tale of three souls who come together by strange force and circumstance, as each tries to figure out where home is, what family and love is, and what their place is in the world.
